Sometimes you have to listen to your body. I had sleep issues cause I was dreaming of food and waking up searching for carbs and protein [/quote]
Derek, when you say “listen to your body” was there anything else beside the sleep/hunger thing? Any sign that you felt particularly protein deficient? [/quote]
Just a note…I have gotten flack before because I use “listen to your body”.
This is common in medicine…because people with a significant health background in biology know there are no constants. There are too many variables for someone to literally think of the human body like a calculator…so listening to your body is a term that means, stop thinking you can plan this shit out ahead of time. You see what your biology does and you respond the best way possible.

Have to agree 100% on this one.You have to find what works for you for diet,training etc.And those things can change along the way, but that’s one of the things i love about this sport.

Mental fatigue, drop in glucose and blood pressure (drop in blood volume).
Literally sleep disturbance due to lack of calories, increased joint pain and not to mention headache, blurry vision.
Those days that somebody increased the gravity of earth, because even your coffee mug feels heavy.

lol, HA1C is 5.0 and never had a fasting sugar above 80.
You have seen my recent work outs and if I am not taking in enough kcal I sure as hell feel it. Plus all my workouts are fasting, all of them.

Missed my point. This is a general (not specific to you) statement to the symptoms you were talking about. Good for training fasted as well.
